Bamboo Isoflavones Antioxidant Extract Biochelated Silica 1000x

Bamboo is not only a rich source of natural silica it also contains isoflavones with ORAC values higher than that of vitamin C with cell proliferation stimulating capabilities. In order to enhance the extraction of the active components of this plant, bio-fermentation tech­niques have been utilized with Lactobacillus Lactis. This process forms a bio chelated-sil­icate with the silica from the plant material and isolates powerful isoflavone antioxidants without using harsh chemicals.

The bio-complexed silica extracted from the bamboo through a natural fermentation process provides a slip on the skin similar to that of commonly used silicones. A 20-subject sensory panel was assembled to determine the in-vivo improvement in epidermal slip using Bamboo Isoflavones. Panelists were asked to compare the improvement in slip using Bamboo Isoflavones to a biological control. A 10% concentration of Bam­boo Isoflavones was prepared in a standard aqueous solution; a 50μl dose was then applied to the subjects’ left hand. The results demonstrate that Bamboo Isoflavones increase epidermal slip by more than 60% when compared to the biological control.

The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity test was used as a way to measure antioxidant activity. The RFU values for a 0.1% concentration of Bamboo Isoflavones exceeded that of 0.1% of vitamin C by over 1000 on the ORAC scale indicating that the isoflavones contained in the product have strong antioxidant and skin protective benefits

Bamboo Isoflavones is a natural alternative to silicone with the added benefit of strong antioxidant pro­tection. Bamboo Isoflavones are suitable for improving epidermal slip and aesthetics, and they may be used in applications such as lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and makeup. Bamboo Isoflavones function well as an all-around anti-aging ingredient not only capable of preventing damage to the skin due to oxidative stress but also stimulating cell proliferation to aid in repairing existing damage while provid­ing an aesthetic slip on the skin.
